I don’t know if that’s true. I feel like she’s made mistakes. You watch her struggle as the parent of a teenager, she married Teddy (woah, big mistake), she called off a huge multi-media publicity wedding the day off (which is like, super scandalous), and she’s back together with her recovering alcoholic baby daddy…

I read the story 3 times trying to see where the connection was to Congress. I’m just going to give the benefit of the doubt here that it was a Freudian slip of sorts, and not that someone who is covering politics for Jezebel doesn’t know that state legislators are not called congressmen.

They are state representatives or legislators/state lawmakers... not congressmen.

Ugh, gross. I would not want it to be so soap-operaish and convenient. I think there are a frillion more creative reasons she could be so protective. Though... she did go on and on about how infertile she was. Hm.

That’s EXACTLY what I proposed to my friends last night in our group chat. It would (handily) explain how he got into the school last-minute from the wait-list, and is so freaking untouchable.

Never knew this existed!
Shit. Thanks for sharing!

It’s funny, because in addition to the more popular video version that you mention, there’s also the album version of the song where she sounds like she’s crying. I love that one.

parents aren’t spending enough time exploring how to be safe and smart online with their kids.

I remember it too. I also think there was a Josie and The Pussycats single available during the same time. And just happened to find an Archies cassette tape at a local thrift store last week.

I remember too.

We lie to your husband too. Maybe smaller lies, but you all get lies.

Did anybody go look at that random guy’s twitter page?

I think they took out the zinc oxide not because of the scary chemical thing but because it’s thick and gives the skin a white cast. They just talked about lessening whitening and making it easier to apply in their statement.

Um. That song was written by Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally and Kasey Musgraves. I know this because they are credited as writers for the song. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but Kasey Musgraves is a songwriter. She writes songs both for herself and for others. That is how that works. So no need to be mad.…

She also payed a visit

I am the only person in America who thought he got in a few good ones with the empty chair speech, even though I’m pretty sure that he and I would agree on zero things IRL.

Can you imagine a more interesting piece of decor that a framed joint given to you by Willie Nelson?

Mark, if you, like me, owned a dogeared copy of Bear Attacks, you’d know the park ranger maxim “a fed bear is a dead bear.” That’s because bears, when they begin to associate humans with food, often escalate to attacking humans when they realize that they’re made of meat.

I think most universities already have policies in place around dating students you’re currently teaching. Where I went to graduate school, they certainly did.
